MX programmable modules

The MX modules are RS485 Modbus control units.

Unlike TES modules, the MX modules are programmable with the IEC61131-3 languages.

They therefore have the function of local micro-PLCs and can pre-process information in a set of big data.

The MX modules are deployed in the control system of Charles de Gaulle Aircraft Carrier.
